Japanese diet

The Japanese diet has long proven its effectiveness in losing weight for many.No other diet can compare with its results, but it allows each member of the fair sex to remain beautiful and fit for many years.

Also, one of the advantages of the diet is minimal monetary costs and availability of products.This does not mean that the menu will only contain rice porridge;also includes proteins and plant foods.

There are many varieties in the world - rice, unsalted, and a whole nutritional scheme has been developed for each.

Working principle

The weight loss effect on the Japanese diet is achieved thanks to three basic principles.They help to obtain the desired result and maintain it at a constant level for a long time:

1. Low calorie method used
   Due to the small amount of calories that enter the body, it has to use its own reserves as “fuel”, which leads to the effective loss of extra pounds.
2. High protein content
   This leads to the fact that the body begins to burn excess fat at an accelerated rate due to the large expenditure of energy on processing proteins.
3. Low salt content
   This contributes to the beneficial effects of the diet on the body - blood pressure normalizes, excess fluid is removed from the tissues, and tissue swelling is eliminated.

This type of diet is suitable for people with different configurations and desires for efficiency.For example, to get rid of 4-5 extra pounds, you will need to follow your chosen type of diet for seven days.

If you need to lose up to 10 kg, the period will be doubled, to 14 days.In some cases, the Japanese diet can be used for 1 month if there are no contraindications.
